In 2002, Pamela Anderson publicly announced she had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C, a
disease that can lead to liver cancer. She indicated she had contracted the Hepatitis C virus from sharing tattoo
needles with her husband Tommy Lee. At the time, she decided to forego conventional medical treatments, relying instead
on a healthy vegetarian diet. She credits avocados for her
improved liver health. I am going to venture out on a limb and guess that it has more to do with her overall diet, lifestyle and other factors -- not simply avocados. But there you go, that's what she said.
Anderson is probably best known for her activist activities on behalf of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, PETA, but she has also acted as the celebrity spokesperson for the American Liver Foundation and the Canadian Liver Foundation. Hepatitis C is an inflammation of the liver that can lead to liver cancer. Hepatitis C is usually spread by blood transfusion, hemodialysis, and needles. There is no cure.
1. I hear avocados make your boobs bigger too. Oh, look at that, it works.
